The affix ṇamul comes after the verbs 1. han 'to kill' 2. kṛ 'to make' 3. grah 'to seize', when the words 1. samūla 2. ākṛta 3. jīva in the Accusative -2nd case are respectively compounded with them.,
Thus समूलघातं हन्ति 8.3.32 and 8.3.54 'he destroys so as to tear up by the roots i.e. he totally extirpates'; अकृतकारं करोति 'he does a thing which was not done before'; तं जीवग्राहं गृह्णाति 'captures him so as to preserve his life, i. e. captures him alive'. Here also appropriate verbs from the same roots are used to govern the gerund.,
